Porto was my first solo travel destination back in 2019, and honestly, I couldn’t have picked a better place to start. The locals were so welcoming that I felt like I had built-in tour guides, and the city’s walkability made it easy to explore without overthinking directions (or having to deal with public transport meltdowns—as…
I know this might be a bit controversial, but London is probably my favorite major city in Europe. Maybe not to live in full-time, but as a tourist? Absolutely. I’ve been quite a few times now, and at least once a year, I get the urge to go back. I see pictures of cozy London…
If you’re gearing up for a big trip—whether you’re sipping spritzes in Italy or backpacking through Southeast Asia—the last thing you want is to end up wallet-less and stranded because some sneaky pickpocket got the best of you. Trust me, it’s not fun explaining to the embassy why you have zero ID and no money….
I’ve been traveling the world pretty much full-time for the past six years, and for the last two, I’ve been working on the road as well. I wouldn’t exactly call myself a “digital nomad”—I just happen to work while I travel. But for the past two years, I’ve been lugging my laptop and all my…
I’ve always felt like Singapore is one of those places that just begs for a quick stopover. You see it all the time—flights into Southeast Asia, or from Europe to Australia, often have layovers here. And every time it happens, I think, “Hmm, maybe I should just explore Singapore for a bit.” That’s exactly what…
I’ve traveled solo to over 40 countries now—from Colombia and Ghana to Australia and all over Europe—so I know a thing or two about what makes a place great for solo travelers. And let me tell you, Singapore is up there. There’s just so much to do, whether it’s hitting up the big sights like…
I first visited Bodrum in 2021, and let me tell you, I was instantly hooked. There’s just something about Bodrum that hits different. The whitewashed buildings spilling down to the turquoise Aegean, the bougainvillea creeping over every doorway, and the effortless mix of luxury and laid-back beach vibes, ah it’s pure magic! But what really…
I’ve been to Singapore so many times that I honestly lost count. I lived in Australia for over three years and spent a lot of time traveling and working remotely all over Southeast Asia, so somehow, every trip to that part of the world seems to involve a stopover in Singapore. And every time I…
Hiriketiya Beach is hands down my favorite spot in Sri Lanka—no contest. I’ve spent well over three months in the country, trying to explore as much as possible, but somehow, Hiriketiya Sri Lanka is where I got stuck for over a month. I don’t know exactly what it was. Maybe it felt more secluded and…
When I was in Turkey, visiting ancient Ephesus was one of the top things I wanted to check off my list. With its ancient ruins like the Temple of Artemis and the Library of Celsus, it’s a history lover’s dream. I based myself in Kusadasi, a charming town just 18 kilometers from the site, and…
